One drink. One night. One bullet.

Silas Vance hates New Year’s Eve. To the rest of Denver, it’s a celebration. To the owner of The Rusty Nail, it’s just amateur night. Silas prefers the silence of his dive bar, the smell of stale beer and cedar, and the weight of the sawed-off shotgun he keeps under the counter. He’s spent ten years hiding from the world in the dark.

Until Knox walks in.

Knox looks like a ruin in a tailored suit. He’s bleeding, he’s freezing, and he smells like gunpowder and expensive cologne. He asks for a drink and a place to disappear.

Silas should kick him out. Instead, he pours him a bourbon.

What starts as a desperate, wall-shaking hookup in the back office turns into a fight for survival when a hit squad kicks down the door. Knox isn't just a stranger; he’s a corporate "fixer" with a target on his back, and now that target is on Silas, too.

Forced to flee into the blizzard, they have to navigate a city exploding with fireworks and gunfire. Knox thinks he needs to protect Silas from the violence of his world.

But Knox doesn't know that Silas owns the local scrap yard. And he doesn't know that the bartender knows exactly how to dispose of the trash.

Only one thing is certain: If they survive the night, Silas is going to need a new back door. And Knox is going to owe him a lot more than a drink.

Bourbon & Bullets is a high-heat, gritty M/M romantic suspense set against the chaos of New Year’s Eve. Expect hurt/comfort, a possessive bartender with a hidden dark side, a hitman seeking redemption, and a HEA that tastes like whiskey and gunpowder.
